This should probably be a separate patch. builtin-hash-object.c also uses prefix_filename() first to obtain vpath without strdup() and then uses the function to create arg, which seems to be unsafe to me. I've looked at all the hits from

    $ git grep -n -e prefix_filename\( -- '*.c'
and other places seem to be Ok.
